If any word or deed of mine, 

Great or small, 
Can cheer the sad on whom they shine, . 

Like heaven's call, 
Then help me, Lord, those gifts to share, 
And scatter them like sunbeams fair. 





|^Pr off in country lonely, 

strong ties of love each day 
• Were knit between love's dear ones 

in every word and way— 
There, in an humble cottage, 

all seemed so fair and bright, 
That oft it did remind them 

of days without a night. 




f N fields of verdant pastures 

and by the shady tree, 
V®| Sweet words and deeds of kindness 
were like the river free; 
And with the rippling waters, 

as they did onward flow, 
A childish song was mingled, 

so sweet, and soft, and low

-vHE father was a shepherd, 

and well his daughter knew 
' His voice as he the sheep called 

and to them food did strew; 
And when a lamb would wander 

in realms of death and pain 
The shepherd, by a known cry, 

would bring it back again.

C ^C ( jV the sweetness of her lot, 

For as she thought of city 

the farm joys she forgot. 
Though future steps should pierce her 

with unknown fiery smart, 
Yet she would go thus forward 

with brave and hopeful heart.

AND clasped in hand her parents 

bade her a sad good-bye. 
ij' The face of love, oh how sweet, 

as eye still met each eye, 
For in each heaving bosom 

was purity and grace 
That met with God's approval 

as they stood face to face. 





FAIR and country maiden 

in city all alone 
Found not a few allurements 

to which mankind is prone. 
There things were very charming 

and friends almost divine, 
Who praised her for her beauty 

and tempted her with wine.

And found that worldly pleasures 

had proved to her a hell. 
She thought of home and loved ones 

and of her early years, 
And in that deep reflection 

her eyes were filled with tears.

and now saw her in sin, 
'By chance had met her father 

and told where she had been. 
He left the flock on hillside 

in search of his own lamb, 
And to the city hastened 

singing the shepherd's psalm.

MBARRASSED in the city 

he tarried there till night, 

Hoping to find his own lamb 

now lost out of his sight. 

The streets seemed cold and cheerless 
as he put forth his cry, 

Then listened for an answer 

from her who might be nigh.

\ - HE loving shepherd's own Iamb 

was found at last that night, 
For on her ears the call fell 

as if from heaven's height. 
She rushed into a lone street 

and to her father's arm, 
And, with tears of confession, 

begged for home on the farm.

of home is bright with love, 

V^*^ The past is all forgotten 

in pardon from above; 
For in the heav'nly city 

stands open wide the gate— 

It is God's gate of mercy, 

'tis as yet not too late.
